Conclusion

DevOps was number one topic at FutureStack18. Software development and operations today simply have to work hand in hand to meet dynamic and agile demands.

The reports of the various cloud journeys and experiences of the speakers, how they migrated from monolithic applications to cloud architectures and how to save time and money from the very beginning of the development through good monitoring were extremely interesting.

Many thanks to New Relic for the successful event, the exciting talks and the opportunity to hop into the flight simulator. We had a lot of fun! 

Thank you very much and see you next time.
